I'm Sarah Mick, and I design a bunch of stuff you use & see
I specialize in UX, UI and branding. You've probably already seen a lot of my work. I created the UX, UI and branding for the popular app Bumble, which has consistently been a top 10 lifestyle app for years.
At Bumble, I served as the Chief Creative Officer from 2014-2018 alongside brilliant CEO, Whitney Wolfe Herd, who recently accepted the role as CEO of all sister properties of Bumble.
Currently, I’m the Founder & CEO at DESMOND in Austin, Texas. The name comes from my middle name, Desmond, and is my maternal family’s name. I started Desmond a year and a half ago, and we’ve begun to grow exponentially.
At DESMOND, I first hired Dustin Ratheal, who is Chief Brand Officer. While his talents range from wrangling my ridiculous ideas and attempting to get through as the voice of reason, he is an extremely talented director, cinematographer, photographer and tastemaker.
Most recently, we’ve hired Gunnar Widowski as Head of Photography, Matthew Mixon as Head of Content Creation & Production, Courtney Brush as Office Assistant and Creative Photo Styling, and Nikki Harada as Executive Assistant.
We’re now actively hiring for Chief Business Officer, Production Designer, and Head of Social Media. Email me if you know of someone great for any role!
At DESMOND, we focus on brands that need everything from logo work, marketing design campaigns, rebrands, and packaging design to ground-up UX/UI for any screen. We look for people who seek to do good as much as they aim to grow their business or brand. Additionally, we donate 25% of our hours each year to charity organizations.
